Robins' Transition and Surgery Fund

Hi everyone,
My name is Robin and I wanted to write an introduction so you all could get to know me better.
For the longest time I have felt uncomfortable as who I am as a person, an unhappy with my life for years. I have had serious issues with depression, anger and social anxiety with no reason why, at least until recently.
During the beginning of the pandemic I had a lot of time to finally take stock in my life and who I was a person. I came to the realization I was no longer happy with the route my life was taking, and I needed to put my own needs and mental health first in order to stay in this world.
I started to see a therapist in March of 2020 to find out why I was so unhappy with myself. I often felt it was just issues with my work or not having enough money, but I realized I’ve never been happy with who I was. I’ve figured out, with the help of my therapist I was a trans woman.
Finding out who I really was as a person has been life changing for me and mentally things have changed for the better. My issues with depression, and moreover the crippling anxiety I suffer from have been either lessened or disappeared altogether.
I have made the decision to, and not lightly, to transition and go on HRT. I know that this is probably a monumental task to undertake, but ultimately it is a decision that I have made because it is one that will improve my quality of life. It will help me avoid the suicidal issues that I have struggled with that are directly tied into my gender dysphoria. I have just started HRT, but I know it was one of the best decisions I have ever made concerning my own health. In the end however it is a stressful time to come out and decide to transition. But it is something that I need to do for my own mental health and well-being.
Trying to become who I want to be can be incredibly complicated with medical costs including co-pays, doctors’ visits, therapy and the eventual surgeries I would like to have. All of this can take up the majority of what little money I make at my job. My wife who supports me in this cannot help with my medical costs since she retired, due to disabling medical issues three years ago.
I don’t like to ask for help, but in this instance, I do need help in being able to pay for the various medical bills, medications and other expenses such as my name change that will crop up during my transition.
I hope and pray that this will be able to make it that much closer to who I truly want to be. Happy and mentally stronger than I ever have been.
Thank you!
Love Robin
